I have a v6 Lfx, and I have done quite a few cos.mods, but only exhaust as far as performance. I'm quite young and I understand the v6 stock is enough power, but as I get older I want to add some speed. Many have advised me to put a chip in and all that stuff, but I don't wanna void my warranty and get poor MPG to have the same power as a stock SS. You guys think I should just upgrade to an SS or stay with the v6 and mod down the road.

There's not really a chip for these cars. You could get a tune, but that voids your warranty, and it's probably not worth it unless you have lots of mods. If you want to be as fast as a stock SS, your probably going to need a supercharger or twin turbos. Even then, depending on how well it's set up, you still might not be in SS territory.

Since you've done the exhaust, maybe try a CAI. That should give you a little performance boost. I wouldn't do a ton of mods if you plan on eventually trading it in for an SS, though. I did a lot of mods to my V6, and the whole time I was regretting not getting the SS.

not true. there are turbo and supercharged V6s making 400-450RWHP. that's faster than the SS the last i checked.

and remember, that's on the LLT engine. the LFX should be closer to the 450RWHP mark than the LLT.

From anyones point of view with a budget STAY with a V6 because although you will probably not get as much power as a SS you may not get even close but you could defiantly get a lot more power then the stock V6. Think about it, your young, your probably on a budget, and you can have more fun modding a V6 and save more money then buying a SS. I THINK you can get a Trifecta tune and it WONT void your warranty but I wouldn't take my word I would look into it. I think there is a guy on the forums named Vinced who is a sales rep for Trifecta that would know the answer to your question. Wait until your older and have the spare money to buy and insure a V8, even if you get older and mod your V6 so much you have a lot of power your still only paying V6 insurance!!!!
